In Romania, the work permit belongs to the job, not to you: the aviz de angajare names one employer and one position. Switching employers is entirely possible — drivers do it constantly — but only in the right order.
The new employer applies for a new aviz de angajare at the IGI, with the labour-market check run again — routine for driver roles. Only once it is approved do you sign and start, and the residence permit is then updated to the new contract. Your D/AM entry visa is history at this point; as a resident you do not need a new one for a job change inside Romania.
Your residence permit is purpose-bound to employment, so a long gap between contracts puts it at risk. Line the new aviz up before the old job ends where you can, and inform the IGI of the change promptly.
A genuine contract meeting statutory conditions, in the occupation your file is built on. A markedly lower salary or a different occupation invites questions; a like-for-like driving contract sails through.
Nothing happens to it automatically — the point is the permit: the new employer must obtain a new aviz de angajare through the IGI before you start, after which your residence documents are updated; as a resident, you need no new entry visa.
Not by transfer — the aviz names one company and position. The new employer obtains a new one before your first shift for them.
Yes. Report the change promptly so the residence permit is aligned to the new contract; unreported changes surface at renewal at the worst moment.
A genuine contract on statutory terms in your occupation. Like-for-like driving roles are routine; big salary drops or occupation changes invite scrutiny.
Continuous lawful residence keeps counting toward long-term residence — commonly five years — regardless of employer changes; each switch still needs its own aviz.
No. Line up the new role and contract first, and confirm any approval, before resigning.
Yes. An unexplained gap can affect your status, so move without a break where possible.
It runs again for the new aviz, but for driver vacancies it is routine paperwork rather than a barrier — experienced transport employers clear it constantly.
No, but they must remain valid; keep your licence, Code 95 and documents current for the new contract.
Generally yes within your field; confirm the new contract meets the same standards and any approval is in place.
It must still meet statutory conditions, and a sharp drop will be questioned. Keep the pay structure clean and documented in the contract.
Not by itself; continuous employment and contributions still count toward a settlement permit.
Yes, their permits continue; keep your own status intact through the change.
It varies; arranging it before you start avoids working without the necessary approval.
